Action, Romance And Wuxia Majesty Highlight The New Trailer For THE WHITE HAIRED WITCH OF LUNAR MOUNTAIN

International actress and screen beauty Fan Bing Bing has seen her career make some significant headway in recent times, with two Marvel properties - a small cameo for Asia's release of Iron Man 3, followed by a much bigger standing in Bryan Singer's Hollywood theatrical blockbuster release of X-Men: Days Of Future Past this May. Furthermore, there is no doubt she will continue to make the same headway later this year with Jackie Chan's next international film adventure in Skiptrace. That said, kicking things off to a spectacular start this year is new footage now available in the latest trailer for director Jacob Cheng's new, visually stunning 3D 100 million RMB fantasy action adventure, The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Mountain.

The new trailer arrives well over a year since the film's five-month shoot before announcing its wrap in April of last year. Produced by Huang Jianxin, the film is the latest 3D adaptation of author Liang Yusheng's classic 1950's novel since its earlier adaptations through TV and film, most notably actress Bridgette Lin memorable role as the lead character in the 1993 Ronny Yu helmer, The Bride With White Hair and its sequel from helmer David Wu. The film is also billed as one of the most highly anticipated movies to date with Fan getting more screentime with actor Huang Xiaoming since their previous roles in Chen Kaige's 2010 film, Sacrifice.

Based on the classic martial arts novel by Liang Yusheng, it evolves around a pair of star-crossed lovers -- a devilish outlaw (Fan Bingbing) and the righteous Taoist leader (Huang Xiaoming), and their love that could change the fate of the nation.

The past few years have been a vigorous tug-and-pull over just how long it would be before actor and martial artist Iko Uwais would see a more principal role than in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Landing a more definitive English speaking line in this year's thriller, Headshot, was just another layer on the waiting cake added until more time passed until now, with actor Frank Grillo front and center with the cast that outlines the first of possible prospects to come between two actors who've gotten their start in different markets.
I speak of prospects with a certain action crime saga remake in mind, but in the good name of staying on topic, let's bring things back into focus. For this, we now turn to the long-awaited first official teaser trailer for the new sci-fi thriller, Beyond Skyline from writer/producer/director Liam O'Donnell who served on the first film from directing duo Colin and Greg Strause back in 2010.
Those who haven't seen the first film yet have…

I think it's safe to say you know your movie sucks when you not only screw the rights holders whose name and content you base your unsanctioned film on, but when said rights holders join the chorus of critics panning your movie from literally every angle of the internet. That is the level of achievement you have reached if your name is George Nolfi and you've directed a film called Birth Of The Dragon, long hyped to be a hopefully legendary homage to Bruce Lee, the late founder of Jeet Kune Do and patriarch of American martial arts movie fandom.
